Fortunate
Have you ever considered?
How fortunate you are
To gaze at the sky
And see a star,
And say to yourself
I wonder how many there are?
To walk through a garden
And smell the rose.
Skip through dewy grass
In your bare feet and toes
Before the sun arose?
Take long walks on
A crisp fall day.
Build a snowman
On a cold wintry night
Giving him eyes of [...]

DARK WERE HER EYES-
Like her sad dark life-
And her HOME was a boat on the sand-
Just an overturned wreck of a lonely boat-
Where she lived, by the sounding sea!
She looked at me, and her deep dark eyes,
Where the shadows, when twilight is dim-
And I talked with her Grandma-
Beside the old boat,
That travels the Waves, no [...]

One night we sang an old war song,
About the “BOYS IN BLUE”-
The song was sung by “BOYS IN GRAY”
They seemed to like it too!
We saw again the river flow,
WHERE THE LINCOLN GUNBOATS LAY!
WE HEARD THE DRUMS THAT LED THE BOYS
FROM ‘LANTA TO THE BAY.
We saw Old Lincoln, on his knees,
All quiet like….to pray…..
THAT THEY COULD [...]

As I set sail on the boat of dreams,
and ride upon the waves of confusion,
I hope to prove that with conflict
there is always a solution.
A tsunami of anger sweeps the sea
and tears at the sky of peace.
And shatters the dream boat and
slashes the wind,
And shows know mercy at the least.
Splashing as fright fills me within,
I [...]

Fortunate
Have you ever considered?
How fortunate you are
To gaze at the sky
Bejeweled by stars
And say to yourself
I wonder how many there are?
To walk through a garden
And smell the rose.
Skip through lush dewy fescue
In your bare feet and toes
Before the sun arose?
Take long walks on
A crisp fall day.
Letting your woes
Stay they lay.
Build a snowman
On [...]

Said my goodbyes to the words in my head
The rhymes and the reasons long since are dead
Shut out the symphony that played requiem song
Notes that were beating to a man who has gone
Torn down the barricades that blotted the course
Put out to pasture the wounded-leg horse
Banished the victim that sat in the dark
Watched as the [...]

When time works against us
and weighs at the heart
somewhere in a foreign land,
night turns to day, and
the fashion in shop windows
I pass on my way from work
into djellabas, the smell
of restaurants into kuskus
on a market day,
hands all out, stretched
to acknowledge this gift,
walking in the shadow
of African women, men,
with their fear of anchored boats
on coastal fronts. [...]
